There are other ways to change the look of your application vis-a-vis the size oif the screen. If you want to blow up (enlarge) your stage, you can use the drawRect property of the window or stage. Roger posted this the other day:
monitorRect = the deskTopRectList[1]
the centerStage = 1
(the stage).rect =monitorRect
(the stage).drawrect = monitorRect
Another thing you can do is open a MIAW (movie in a window) that has only a bitmap or vectror shape that will become the backdrop for your movie, so you can set its size to fill the screen.
This seems to be a frequent issue, so if anyone knows of an exhaustive article or post on the subject, please let us know.
I recently struggled with the following scenario: I wanted my user to start a stub projector in a window, and then, depending on the user's choice, to have that projector start the real movie either in the full-screen mode or in a window. But it appears that one cannot make that sort of decision on the fly--the mode is hardwired into the projector. One can make two projectors, one full-screen and the other one in-a-window, and tell the users to choose which one they want to start depending on their situation. In a public presentation, for example, one would prefer to cover the desktop, but as an individual user, a typical computer owner will want to see a window.
Perhaps someone will prove me wrong, though; I hope so. I'm new to Director.
